...could choose only one song that showed the real you, which one would it be? -Doreen Townsend, Nashua, N.H.I think if there was only one, it would be a tough choice between "Living on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead or Alive."

"I can see just by looking at your faces. But we all have to be strong." An older boy leads a short prayer in Arabic-all Ban Bukoh's 200 pupils are Muslims-and the national anthem is played. "Thais love peace, but aren't afraid to fight," the children sing as the Thai flag is raised between fire-scorched trees. The words can't mean much-some of the children are fresh...
